Kaiser Bob, AKA Anthony Jones

[platinumjason]

I think contacting the police may be a good way to jump start the process of having the money make its way back to the people that it came from. I know if I was told to pay some money or they would be contacting the police, I would be pawning everything I have to get the money for them. It may not do much putting him in jail but Im sure it wont look good when someone looks back and sees that you went to jail because you were ripping people off via the internet or any other way.

This kind of crap makes AO look so bad.

To the contrary, it makes us look good. No community of 20,000 people has all angels. We have a member that went astray and we as a community are trying to assist a complete stranger in a matter invlving the astray member.

That's a good thing, not a bad thing.

Agreed. For the most part, the community of AO is shining through to help out someone who's not in the fold, and make it clear that it dosen't matter who you are, what's right is right.

Anyway, I am optimistic that this will be resolved with everyone getting whats theirs soon, and Im working to make sure that gets done before another month rolls around. With that, theres nothing more for me to say in this thread so im done.

If KB does what he tells me he is trying to do then we will have a settlement in about a month. If this goes through we will have an Auction. For an X Mag, a Flatline and a Scepter on his behalf and the proceeds will go to those owed money. In hopes of returning full funding to each person owed. If not at least close. Those of you will be offered a settlement at the end depending on the total achieved and depending on the level of money owed. He will provide me with a list of those he owes money to based on items not delivered. I do not at this point know what that total is. But if we can get you at least 80 or 90 cents on the dollar and hopefully even full amount you will be expected to consider that offer. If you accept it then its settled. If not them that portion goes back to him to deal with you directly. Lets hope it brings enough to cover it 100% but I hope you will consider whatever that offer is carefully when its communicated to you. We just have to wait and see. Assuming he does what he is planning. If this is acceptable it will proceed when KB contacts me and the goods will be Auctioned off here on AO. More later.

If I only get 80-90 cents per dollar, I expect the rest to come to me at a later date from him directly. It would be great if this one thing resolved the whole money issue for everyone, but if it doesn't, then the situation isn't over (for me anyway).

One down...

Well the tank (Dynaflow) from Kaiser Bob did indeed arrive today and had everything he said it would. After the first four/five weeks of waiting when still in 'good standing' I asked if it came with anything so I could order the rest if it didn't. At that point he added in the cover, and it arrived with a dust cover nipple cap too.
Its in great shape and I would be very surprized if it didn't function correctly. UPS of course did their best to mangle the box in only two days.

I'm sure this was the easiest to resolve as he just had to ship it as far as I know, but its a step in the right direction. Keep at it KB. You'll get there.

Good to see some hard evidence that he is working on things.

ok i read the whole thread man that was one bad trip..any how im going to post my opinion on here only cuz i think it may be helpful.. having KB arrested will not get you your money back quickly.. but it he does not follow through with this then you need to do that.. that alone will set the grounds for a civil lawsuit and the fact that he went to jail for theft will make the verdict in the civil suite so much more of a sure thing.. now the only court that should go to would be small claims and avoid using lawyers as much as possible or include legal fees in the claim.. now for 15000 that is a grand theift case and a lawsuit is suggested.. bye going through courts you insure that everything gets paid or he does another night in jail..one of my favorite tricks is when they make bail the same as owed then give the bail money to the one it is owed to..now even if KB doesnt have alot of money it sounds like he has a car and that will get enough to get the ball rolling.. courts can issue citation to impound vehicles then give it to the one who is owed(my mom did it to my dad with his old truck)

this is an ugly scenario but it will force some more immediate results in my opinion.. and also arbatry judges ie judge judy work well as they eat legal fees and even pay the debt and have the losing party pay to them instead.

Not to peen on your parade, but in TX they can't (KB lives in TX). Your "house and carriage" cannot be taken from you.

amen to that, if it was me 80-90% is a great start, but it aint over by far.

good luck to everyone involved

I love Texas!... You're right about the that. However, the government can take away your house if you don't pay the property tax. I don;t know if that applies to car, though.

Nope! The government can put a lien on your house for past tax dues that you would have to pay if you decided to sell it, but they can't take away your house. And it doesn't apply to cars at all. You can be fined for not paying your car registration and you can have a warrant against you for not paying the ticket and you can be put in jail for that, but they will not take away your car.

I'm liking Texas even more! But there's one thing that doesn't make sense. If you owned your house, meaning that it's paid off, then how can anyone put a lien against it?
